can any one help me solve for a variable useing angle postulets
post ur question.
its a complicated thing to type i have to draw it
so, then how can anybody answer it without seeing it. take a snap and post it if u can.
i cant take a pic if you think you can solve it i can give you and online text book adress username and password
Try drawing it then. And if you can, also describe what you are seeing.
|dw:1349915639874:dw| i have to solve for 4 variables i solved 3 but cant solve Y
choose one of the big triangles and use 'sum of angles in a triangle = 180'
so i solve for one of the inner angles and use the vertical angle postulet and angle addition postulet to solve for it
Is that a parallelogram? You can use alternate interior angles if so.
Ah, nevermind, you'll still have to use the triangles first. I just noticed that they are both Y.
i used alternate interior angles to solve for X, W, and V but when i tried it with Y i couldnt get a good answer
y= 37 did i get the right answer
yes. you are correct.
i also need heelp solving for the variables in this |dw:1349916300021:dw|
x+y = 180 and x=3y so. solve for x and y
Do we know that x=3y? Are the lines parallel?
how would i solve for x and y and yes they are parallelline
You can solve the system using substitution.
what would i substitue in there place
If x+y=180 and x=3y, then 3y+y=180
yes when a line intersects two parallel lines it subtends equal internal and external angles with both the lines. so x=3y
ok ill try it
so y=45
AND X=135 did i do it right
135 does equal 3 times 45, and 45 plus 135 does equal 180, so it seems to check out.
thank you soo much ill post if i need more help
